Key Features
-
Wide FootbedWide Footbed
Stirrups with a wide footbed provide a larger surface area for the rider's foot, helping distribute pressure for improved stability, control, and comfort. This design is popular amongst riders of various disciplines.
-
Extra GripExtra Grip
Stirrups with extra grip or aggressive tread provide added traction to help keep the rider's foot securely in place. This feature is especially useful for riders traveling at speed or jumping, where a steady leg position is essential.
-
Quick Release SystemQuick Release System
Quick-release stirrups are designed to open under pressure, so a rider's foot can disengage during a fall. Some feature a hinged arm that releases from the top or side, while others use an open design where the foot can slip free more easily.
-
Offset/Angeled EyeletOffset/Angeled Eyelet
Stirrups with offset or angled eyelets help riders achieve proper position in the irons. The angled eyelet encourages the foot to turn inward (Ideally, a rider's foot sits at about a 45-degree angle; the outside branch slightly forward and the inside slightly back.) allowing the rider to apply leg aids more effectively.

Light Weight
Lightweight stirrups (under 1 lb) are favored by riders who prefer lighter tack for performance riding and competitions. A drawback of this weight is that a lost stirrup can be harder to retrieve due to its lighter build.
-
Medium Weight
Midweight stirrups (1-1.5 lbs) offer a balanced feel that many riders prefer for everyday riding and competing. They provide enough weight for easy stirrup retrieval while still keeping tack relatively light.
-
Heavy Weight
Heavyweight stirrups (over 1.5 lbs) are preferred by riders who want maximum stability and easy stirrup retrieval. The added weight helps the stirrups hang in place, making them favored by dressage riders.
Get a leg up on the competition with the Stubben Maxi Grip Aluminum Lightweight Stirrup Irons! Innovative by design, these stirrup irons are cut from a high-quality aluminum alloy that only weighs .80 lb per piece. With an extremely stable construction, the "fly away" effect is eliminated so you won't have to worry about collecting your irons after sitting or posting the trot without stirrups.
The low-profile style will easily complement any English saddle, while the sharpened pyramid tread is built right into the footbed to keep your foot tight and secure. With an angled design to naturally aid in the "heels-down" position, it also relieves tension build-up in knees and ankles for a more natural look and feel in the tack. The wide footbed provides more surface area for additional stability, while the ergonomic shape puts the tread right where it needs to be for optimal grip.

Comments: I LOVE these stirrups. They are so lightweight and everyone at my barn loves the look. My feet never come out of the stirrups and they make it really easy to get my heel down. They are AWESOME!

Comments: These stirrups are so great, I've purchased a second pair. They are sleek, sturdy, supportive and have helped resolve my 'toes going numb' issues. I use them for dressage, jumping and starting young horses. The price tag is high, but you won't be able to get them new for less. Thanks Riding Warehouse.
